| Summary: | Offers a fascinating re-evaluation of Thomas's writing. Bringing together fro the first time the prose and poetry centered in Thomas's ancestral land of Wales, it explores the "Welshness" of Thomas's work and of Thomas himself. It offers us a context for the subjects, language choices, and tales that were informed by Thomas's childhood visits to Wales as well as giving us a new perspective on Thomas. Edward Thomas's passion for Wales was ignited aged 5. It never left him. Origins fascinate people, especially their own, and Edward Thomas was no exception. With extracts taken from Thomas's prose and poems, alongside a selection of key life events, the importance of Thomas's Welsh origins and the ways in which Wales the place, its people and its literature permeated his life and writings is revealed. Edited with an introduction by Jeff Towns, and featuring an essay on the influence of Wales on the poetry of Edward Thomas by Andrew Webb. |
